[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]10.6 is not greater than 12.  Here's a tip that might work if you're struggling with greater than/less than signs:  remember, the alligator eats the bigger number.[/quote]
In this instance lower is better, you understood what I meant. [/quote]

Lower isn’t better. It just means more applicants. [/quote]

Emory also has shady admissions practices to falsely lower their acceptance rate, namely in regards to Oxford College.  They also have an insanely high Early Decision acceptance rate… I believe it was close to 40% this year.[/quote]

This.

It's playing games to appeal to people desperate to say things like 'it has officially passed X university&quot; etc. [/quote]

Except that USNWR stopped using acceptance rate in its calculation 4 years ago. Good for them, but USNWR is still totally useless.  All the colleges game the system.  Columbia was called out by one their own profs, Northeastern has been surprisingly candid about their tactics, now we are saying Emory.  The attitude on here is that the *other* colleges do that, but our own beloved ones are paragons of virtue.

At some point we have to stop saying Emory is &gt;&lt;G’town or any other uni. Emory is a great college in a vibrant city.  It has different strengths and weaknesses than G’town, just like Dartmouth has different strengths and weaknesses than Penn.  No one here can say one is “better” than the other one.  &gt;[/quote]
